Shakespeare

Hi there,

" Our remedies in ourselves do lie
which we ascribe to heaven."

Does anyone know what Shakespeare meant by that?

Thank you

We credit God and Heaven for the overcoming of problems we face, but in fact we ovecome such problems through our own strength.

In other words, God helps those who help themselves.

Ohhhh...ohhhh - not only succinct, but so beautifully intelligent, the way expressed.
